What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

This article very nicely puts into words my thoughts about the absolute mess that is today's software industry.

One point I want to add: please finish your software. Please define a finite scope of problems that your product solves, and when that's fulfilled, put your project into maintenance mode where you only fix bugs. Finished software is beautiful.

‘초한지’라는 이름의 책, 알고보니 중국엔 없었다 n.news.naver.com/mnews/articl... 초한지라는 책이 중국에는 없다고. "‘초한지’라는 책이 중국에 존재하지 않는 것은 한국 작가 방기환이 중국 책 ‘서한연의’의 번역서를 내던 1960년대에 ‘초한지’라는 새로운 제목을 창작한 것이기 때문이었다. 그리고 그 책 이름은 1983년 고우영 만화에 의해 유명해지면서 마치 중국에도 그런 제목의 책이 있는 것처럼 한국인에게 인식됐던 것이다. "

i tried Dune 3D earlier today.

as an ex-maintainer of SolveSpace, my conclusion is that Dune 3D is the spiritual successor to SolveSpace: same solver, similar (but more powerful) workflow, significantly more powerful geometric kernel

SolveSpace still excels at being minimalist and polished (it will never use OpenCASCADE, for one), and it doesn't use rage-inducing GTK UI patterns, but other than that i can't think of reasons not to use Dune 3D instead

I'm taking a bunch of mental notes about the utility of LLMs, and one thing I keep coming back to is how they evade any means of measurement of effectiveness. NOW: We know that for any probablistic process, if you compose it repeatedly, the probability of the "right answer" approaches 0.

I have more to write about this, but I think the FOSS world urgently needs to come to grips with the fact that "Sovereignty" and "Liability" are the same thing.

Accountability before the state and accountability to the laws of the state are the same thing,

If devs can be held responsible for their code, what difference does it make at the implementation level if the injured party is the individual or the state?

"Free as in no warranty express or implied" might not be a viable option soon.

RE: mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/115

Luckily, many of my clients are intelligent and well-prepared people. Needless to say, that email, before making me laugh, had already made the client laugh. He immediately thought he was dealing with people who were great at marketing but had little technical skill.
I presented my theory on software engineering, but he immediately tore it apart, declaring himself extremely skeptical. In his opinion, it is more likely to be a technique to lower our defenses and then try to sell us "security products" after a "pentest full of flaws". Or simply sheer incompetence.

Anyway, their connection hasn't any open ports. So they can pentest anything they want to, as long as they want to.

애초에 바이브코딩 이라는 명명도 마음에 들지 않지만, 인공지능에 의존한 코딩은 금새 그 한계를 드러낸다. 우리가 하던 일 중 어떤 일들은 분명히 인공지능을 통하는 게 더욱 효율적이겠지만 그렇지 않은 영역도 분명하다. 이 경계를 명확히 인식하고 기술을 활용해야 생산성이 높아지는 것이지, 통째로 속 편히 맡길 수 있는 인공지능 따위는 앞으로도 나오지 않을 거라고 본다.

렉서스 중에서는 LX만이 맘에 드는데... 이건 원본?인 랜드크루저가 워낙에 대단한 차라. 원본이 들어오면 그걸 사겠지. ㅋㅋㅋ; 한국 도로 사정에는 전혀 필요 없는 오버 스펙이지만, 덕질 뭐 합리성으로 하나요. 😅

Yet another day of screaming at digital enshitiffication:

1. My coworkers and I are in a car driving to FOSDEM.
2. We pull up to charge the car.
3. Charging station REQUIRES you to use an app, no option to just pay with a card.
4. We try to install the stupid app. We carry phones running:
- GrapheneOS
- GrapheneOS
- GrapheneOS
- LineageOS, postmarketOS, iOS
5. Neither of our phones meet requirements to install the stupid app (Play Integrity API).
6. My iPhone can't install the app, because it's "Not available in your country".
7. We give up and drive to another charging station.

This is NOT how you introduce applications, "Circle K" :akko_scream:

Finally got around to learning the song "Breathe" by Pink Floyd on the piano. The chord sequences are just dripping with chill. This song reminds me of Zepplin's "Rain Song," in that I could listen to it and play it for hours on end. Pink Floyd recorded this song with a guitar mostly doing the chords. It sounds amazing with the keyboard filling in, especially with some funky preset like 70s funk.

Breathe:

Quick and dirty tutorial on the chords (you can mess around within the chord in the right hand for a melody):

"“AI layoffs are looking more and more like corporate fiction that’s masking a darker reality, Oxford Economics suggests”. That darker reality is that the economy is already screwed."
